Boston — The man convicted of killing a pedophile priest may have posted a prison security video online that shows the murder as it occurred.

| Catholic priest John Geoghan, Joseph Druce |
Joseph Druce beat, stomped and strangled convicted child molester John Geoghan, 68, while both were jailed in the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in August 2003.
The Boston Herald reported that police were investigating whether Druce is the one who posted the video on the
popular Web site YouTube.
The Herald reported that its staff was alerted to the video posting in a handwritten note purportedly written by Druce.
"The truth about officer involvement in John Geogan's (sic) death," the taunting note said, directing the reader to www.youtube.com/Joseph Druce, the Herald reported. "The truth about officers allowing J.G. to die through their neglect."

The 10-minute video was posted June 12 and shows prison guards trying to pry open cell doors while Druce was killing the priest. The post's heading reads "the first of many."
Druce was already serving a life sentence for murder when he killed the defrocked priest.
